Why March 18th?

I

scoured the Internet to find out as much as I could about National AWKWARD Moments Day and unfortunately found there to be no information out there.

When suddenly I had an epiphany, which has led me to formulate this conclusion. Since National AWKWARD Moments Day follows March 17th, which as we all know is St. Patrick's Day, I am thinking that March 18th makes the perfect day for all this Awkwardness. It undoubtedly is due to the number of pints of beer consumed the night before. Imagine all the AWKWARD moments. Now this makes perfect sense to me.

An Awkward Predicament

That awkward moment when

Parking on the wrong side of the gas station, then turning the car around to realize you are still on the wrong side.

Do You know about the Gas Arrow?

I

think the Auto Companies have failed on the marketing of this one, since so many people don't know this.

The Gas Arrow is a very tiny arrow right beside the picture of the gas pump, which tells you which side your car's gas tank is on! I know it sounds funny, but it does exist. I think this was made to help us avoid this one awkward situation.

all of your friends are laughing about a joke and you still don't get it.

Awkward Giraffes

iraffes have got to be one of the most awkward creatures. But that just makes them more lovable if you ask me. There are so many stories out there about this docile creature so I would assume the Giraffe has captured the hearts of many.

Awkward: Season 1

Narrated in the first-person voice of Jenna's blog posts, AWKWARD. captures the humor within the struggles and experiences everyone can relate to from their formative years. The series picks up in the aftermath of the accident as she must deal with a new not-so-fun stigma, while at the same time managing the other daily drama that comes with being a teenager. From a secret relationship with a popular guy, to being undermined by a mean girl, and parents who just don't get it-Jenna's misfortune will eventually serve as the catalyst for amazing change, but it's not without some missteps and mishaps along the way.

AWKWARD Turtle

M

y 16 year old son told me about Awkward Turtle when he learned I was writing this lens. Apparently it is the animal mascot of the Awkward moment. There is even a hand gestured used when an AWKWARD moment is encountered.

During an awkward moment, this hand gesture is used to mark the situation as AWKWARD, and, depending on the situation, makes it more awkward or ends the awkward moment. The awkward turtle is made by putting one hand on top of the other with the thumbs sticking outward and rotating backward. The speed of the rotating thumbs is relevant to the degree of awkwardness.

I am not totally getting the symbolism or humor here, but maybe I am just too OLD or too AWKWARD.

See the extremely short video to get the exact instructions on how to do this very AWKWARD hand movement.

I wonder what this man has just said? Whatever it was it sure must have been AWKWARD!
